60% Xarel-lo, 30% Macabeo and 10% Parellada sparkling wine from Penedes, Catalonia, Spain.
Available for $10 at Whole Foods Market. Sample submitted for review.
From the winery:
"Lively effervescence with bright notes of green apple and pear, this sparkler is ripe and round with a touch of sweetness in the well-balanced finish.
11.5% Alcohol"
The Freixenet Roger d'Anoia Cava Brut begins with pleasant aromas of green apple, a bit of yeast and a few floral notes. The wine tastes crisp and light with lots of bubbles and is filled with flavors of green apple, pear and a nice level of sweetness. Add in good acidity and you've got a great pairing for your New Year's Eve party. At only $10 my advice is to stock up!
